maroon LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS Vol LNo 17 March 7, 1974 Streakers display raw talent LINDA DELERY Staff Reporter Loyola joined the ranks of streaking colleges last night at 11:10 as two Biever Hall residents streaked from the dorm across the quad. The two streakers wearing only shirts covering their heads, were met with cheers and firecrackers as, they dashed through the crowd of about 200 onlookers. Streakers George Livermore and Bob Spence, both buisness majors, said they had to start something at Loyola. Tonight at 11 o'clock they promise a mass streak. They challenged the girls of Buddig Hall to join them. "We .can get 100 guys streaking. We have everyone buzzing," they bragged. The Loyola streak followed a mass streak at Tulane last night when 11 Tulane students, wearing nothing but masks and makeup ran down the Tulane library steps into a crowd of about 200. Bystanders and TV cameramen from two stations stood openmouthed as the students ran through the cheering crowd. In ten minutes another rash of streakers ran through the crowd and into the library. A half an hour later the campus dissolved into pandemonium as more streakers appeared from the dorm and began to run in circles through the crowd. By now the crowd had tripled in size and people ran madly across Tulane's campus from the library to the dorms where they surged below cheering the students in their rooms. Students emerged, razzing the spectacle, some throwing firecrackers from their balconies. Several students appeared nude on their balconies and one nude man did a tightrope walk on the dormitory railing. A student with a magaphone started a rally by soliciting "Gimme an 5!!!..." from the crowd. He then announced to all "Tulane Streakers Anonymous" that there would be a massive streak in the quadrangle. Tulane security director Col. Scruton said he did not plan to make any arrests or to call in the New Orleans Police. He said students were simply letting off steam after the pressure of mid-terms "I think it's great," said one bystander. "It reminds me of the old panty raids." A University of New Orleans professor said, "1 came here to use the library and I found myself in the middle of all this commotion." Campus security guards with two way radios appeared to be providing the crowd with a streakers progress report and the crowd shifted from one location of the campus to the other following the streakers. One Tulane security guard said, "I wish 1 were twenty years younger." In an exclusive interview, the originators of New Orleans first streak said they staged the streak because if they Tulane streakers move into top ten competition.

Eleven students are currently in the program now, said Ms. Villarrubia. Five will graduate at the end of the semester and six will have to transfer, change majors, or take courses at Dominican to complete the program. "Four students have already dropped," Ms. Villarrubia explained, "and one has already left Loyola.". Dr. Lowell C. Smith, Dean of the College of Business Administration said the decision to eliminate the program was primarily based on economics. "There just aren't enough students to make it go. It's obvious there isn't a demand for it here," he said. Students interested in a secretarial program can get these skills in six months at a business school for less money, he said. The decision to drop the course was also based on the findings of an extensive market survey of 500 high school students. The survey showed that students believed there is no need for a four-year degree program for secretaries. Also 97% surveyed believe private universities should not offer secretarial programs, according to Dean Smith. Dr. John E. Cave, Assistant Professor of Management, conducted the survey of high schools last Spring. Prof. Cave said the object of the survey was to determine the potential market for the secretarial program. "It was rather clear to me that there was not a potential market in this area," he said. Financial difficulties were not the only reasons for the program folding in Ms. Villarrubia's view. Lack of interest from the Admissions Department and lack of support from the Administration also aided the collapse of the program, she said. If these areas had done their work, she claimed, there would have been no financial problem. Ms. ViUarrubia feels the administration is partly responsible for the collapse of the secretarial training program. .Photo by Tom Durel Knipfing's proposal delayed The board of directors this week pulled the carpet out from under Dean Knipfing's proposal to renovate the Danna Center, delaying it at least until this summer. The board acted in response to a minority report submitted to it by Pat O'Keefe, the only student member of the board's Student Affairs Subcommittee. The report criticizes the Knipfing proposal which includes $225,000 Renovation of the campus dorms. The plan calls for a $15 yearly' increase in the Student Center fee combined with a $52 per semester increase in the cost of double-occupancy room in the residence halls. The Rev. Ernest Ferlita, chairman of the board, said the board will study whether the proposed improvements would draw students to the dorms.
